Drugs & Rehab

I’ve gone insane; rather I’ve placed my sanity in the care of another
And while it was the sane thing to do, it was also a declaration of trouble…

It’s like ecstasy, giving my body that rush of euphoria
Chemical X changing this horrid reality into utopia
Pill after pill I indulge, pushing myself closer to the edge
But this rush is not one at all, because I will never fall
So I thought…

Internally my body rages at lethal temperatures
But I brush my hands against the cold bumps on my skin
Shaky hands reach for what is now my lifeline
I tilt my head back and inhale the vapors, my eyes roll
I’ve surpassed the cloud of nine…I’m much higher
The height fitting for a King…yet I wear no crown
In a matter of days, I crash into the sea
Swimming with those who have fallen off their high into their somber state of being
They too have lost the appeal of life from their eyes
I must have more…

My body aches for it, and I can hear the faint beat of my heart
I’m an addict; addicted to the hardest drug of them all…LOVE
…I need help

Every breath I take to explain my problem, shaves a minute off my life
But still I deliver the truth…
I was never fond of religion, but between the cracks of her lips I found Heaven
Purpose was found…
Now a reformed Man, I walked amongst the lost ones
Those who have lost love…abandoning the light of the sun
Through their rhetoric, doubt circulated throughout my mind
Yet, with her Eyes, she could ease any thoughts and numb any pain
Her drug was LOVE…and she had conquered the inner sanctums of my soul
When she willfully surrendered her body to me…
My discovery was the treasure that entrapped me
As I explored, I now grew to love the slippery slopes of Hell
…This kind of pleasure had to be a sin, but for this I would bargain with the Devil

Losing my mind, I’ve become unstable in this place
And in her presence, I’ve become vulnerable…From a King to a mere Mortal
I now run away from what I seek…
That feeling of wisdom not yet gained, or…
Pleasure incomparable to all satisfying things…
LOVE is the hardest drug of them all, but it is also my Salvation
